Abstract

Let KK be a field and GG be a group of its automorphisms. If GG is precompact then KK is a generator of the category of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) KK-semilinear representations of GG. There are non-semisimple smooth semilinear representations of GG over KK if GG is not precompact. In this note the smooth semilinear representations of the group GG of all permutations of an infinite set SS are studied. Let kk be a field and k(S)k(S) be the field freely generated over kk by the set SS (endowed with the natural GG-action). One of principal results describes the Gabriel spectrum of the category of smooth k(S)k(S)-semilinear representations of GG. It is also shown, in particular, that (i) for any smooth GG-field KK any smooth finitely generated KK-semilinear representation of GG is noetherian, (ii) for any GG-invariant subfield KK in the field k(S)k(S), the object k(S)k(S) is an injective cogenerator of the category of smooth KK-semilinear representations of GG, (iii) if Kk(S)K\subset k(S) is the subfield of rational homogeneous functions of degree 0 then there is a one-dimensional KK-semilinear representation of GG, whose integral tensor powers form a system of injective cogenerators of the category of smooth KK-semilinear representations of GG, (iv) if Kk(S)K\subset k(S) is the subfield generated over kk by xyx-y for all x,ySx,y\in S then there is a unique isomorphism class of indecomposable smooth KK-semilinear representations of GG of each given finite length.
